2.1.4 Who's the boy on the cover of "Boy" and "War"? (U2)

[SL] I saw an interview around the time of the Joshua Tree tour where
Bono talks about this. He was a kid who
lived across the street in front of Bono's house in Dublin. Quote 'He was
a smart guy, know-it-all, he's probably
taller than me now'

[Ge] His name is Peter Rowan.

[CB] Peter Rowan is the brother of Derek "Guggi" Rowan, and Strongman -
both of which were in the Virgin
Prunes. Peter later became skate-board champion of Ireland, works in a
skate-board shop and has also had
various acting parts, notably in 'The Commitments" and "The Snapper".
